I'm a soldier on the field
Fighting for you
Fighting for me
You can see it on our faces
Like the bullets leave traces
You can feel it for real

You can't imagine the pain
Of my baby so far away
So far from my home

When they comin home
When they leaving that place
See their lover's face again
Kid'll see his daddy's face again
When they comin home
Oh shed some grace
See their lover's face again
Kid'll see his daddy's face again

I'm a soldier on the field
Waiting to die
Praying to live
To survive one more day
My hope begins to fray
As my flesh against the steel
You'll never know what i've known
You'll never see what I've seen
I hope we make it home

When they comin home
When they leaving that place
See their lover's face again
Kid'll see his daddy's face again
When they comin home
Oh shed some grace
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring a soldier home alright
When they comin home, oh
When they leaving that place
See their lover's face again
Kid'll see his daddy's face again

Oh so far from home
She cries
Politics aside
What i'd give to have him here tonight

When they comin home
When they leaving that place
See their lover's face again
Kid'll see his daddy's face again
When they comin home
Oh shed some grace
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring a soldier home alright
When they comin home
Oh children playin in the sun
See their lover's face again
Kid'll see his daddy's face again
When they comin home
Oh mama lay your sweet head
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring a soldier home alright
When they comin home
Oh children playin in the sun
See their lover's face again
Kid'll see his daddy's face again
When they comin home
Oh mama lay your sweet head
When they comin home
